Conventional courses as also careers are passé. Enthusiastic youth no longer make a beeline to join simple Bachelor’s degree courses or BE, MBBS courses. Instead, they are keen on exciting options. List out programmes on fashion,
advertising, photography, modeling, marketing or sales for them and they will oblige you with the reply: “Bring them on!” Landing a place in a reputed institute is not enough. One needs to constantly upgrade one’s skills to be at par with one’s contemporaries. Understanding the needs of young, ambitious people, WLC College India (WLCI) offers a host of interesting courses in business management, fashion & graphic designing. Around since 1996, this institute
has gained a reputation for producing industry leaders who have taken their organizations to the very pinnacle of success.

The success story that commenced with a huge campus in New Delhi has been replicated in nine other states, including Kathmandu in Nepal, down the years.

There are three schools in each campus:

• WLCI ...
... School of Business Management which offers management courses in three branches, namely Marketing, Finance and Human Resources

• WLCI School of Fashion Technology which focuses on fashion-related courses, and

• WLCI School of Advertising and Graphic Design which offers programmes in advertising and Visual Communication.

The aim of the institute is to train students to be proactive so that they can contribute to their organizations from the very beginning of their careers. The students are taught by experienced faculty who are tuned in to the latest happenings in their fields. Industry experts are consulted for the same reason as they know best what the need of the hour is. In fact, no stone is left unturned to empower the students to meet the challenges of the industry.

Taking their duty as educators very seriously, WLCI has in place a holistic Professional Development System which aids the trainers in their job of properly shaping the lives of enthusiastic young professionals. This aforesaid system zooms in on developing a host of knowledge, skills and attitude in addition to their educational qualifications, considered to be integral requisites for getting a placement by modern day employers. This along with the institute’s process based learning system encourages students to develop and hone all those abilities needed to succeed in the professional sphere.

• Knowledge: Learning without understanding or mugging up outdated stuff will not help one in any way. So the stress is on making the process interesting and contemporary so that it can applied to different situations and be used to serve the changing needs of the industry. This is why the courses are formulated in collaboration with industry experts and backed by professional skill development.

• Skills: Besides a repertoire of learning and technical skills relevant to one’s industry, one is armed with a host of other abilities to help one deliver better. These include effective communication, time and resource management, planning and organizing, conflict management and negotiation skills. Besides contributing to one’s growth at the workplace, the best part about these skills is that they also play a major role in one’s personal life.

• Attitude: Attitude matters and the correct attitude can take one a long way. To strike a good ‘work-life balance’, one must have a positive attitude in life. This will help one take all difficult situations in one’s stride and tackle them effectively. WLCI trains students how to develop a positive and proactive attitude in life and value the significance of perseverance, adaptability, integrity, personal effectiveness and the ability to influence people.
